Price out repairs.The first method helps keep him and myself less busy cause there's been plenty of times when I've analyzed the comp data/market area, then went to the house, and the house be in such bad shape, I wouldn't begin to attempt my first rehab on.

Your first few attempts are going to be failures, but you should not need much capital to start.

Attempting to build in a lot of exits out of a contract may really back fire if the conditions are not common for your area.

I have done some reading and have attempted some mailers, subscribe to realty trac, but mainly use MLS listings.

Another solution is to attempt to find someone who will loan the money to the IRA without a personal guarantee in exchange for the interest in the property.

My first attempted deal in REI turned into a bust yesterday as the seller failed to perform.

I just wonder what happens if the owner attempts to sale the asset...
